Round Up Eat Your Greens #4 with Pasta Please

Welcome to Eat Your Greens Round Up #4. This is a monthly vegetarian cooking challenge for food bloggers.

The 'Eat Your Greens' challenge was launched a few months ago. The idea behind 'Eat Your Greens' is really simple, to make something with a green vegetable each month, but last month it was combined with Pasta Please.

So here are this months fabulous pasta green eats ...

The first recipe signals the end of summer but welcomes the Autumnal season with a Cheesy Courgette Bake. This recipe from Laura at I'd Rather Much Bake Than ... who writes 'This recipe is the perfect cross over from fresh summer produce to snuggly autumn cravings'. I must say, I so agree. I still have some golden courgettes, so this could be the recipe for me.

Someone else over-run with courgettes is Elizabeth from Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary as she share with us her Courgette Spaghetti Alfredo from Elizabeth's Kitchen Diary. Funnily enough her kids have renamed it 'Spaghetti a la yucky stuff', but don't go by their opinion, you know what kids are like - fussy.

Next up we have Cheddar Cheese Pasta with Cabbage, Cauliflower and Fried Capers, this recipe comes from The Lawyers Cookbook. I know cauliflower and cabbage are not to every ones taste and even more unusual when combined with pasta, but I've had this combo before (though not together), so can vouch for its being a thumbs up dish. I am also really intrigued by the fried capers, so that is something I will be trying some time soon.

Linsy Patel from Home Cooked Food shares home-made Wholewheat Spinach Ravioli with Grilled Vegetable stuffing. I am so envious at her handcrafted spinach pasta, it takes time and love to make these lovely green parcels. The Spinach Ravioli is then smothered in tomato sauce. Delicious.

One of my long term early blogger friends, Rachel Cotterill shares Creamy Asparagus Pasta. Asparaguss is my husbands favourite vegetable; and coriander is my favourite herb - so this recipe is bookmarked for the future.

Johanna of Green Gourmet Giraffe shares an awesome Spaghetti Pie. Yes, Spaghetti in a Pie, in the pie you will also find spinach and courgettes - yes, courgettes - seem to be everywhere at the moment.

Laura from How to Cook Good Food shares Roasted Mediterranean Vegetable and Feta Lasagne - her list of ingredients which includes courgettes may seem long, but I do think - home made lasagne is the best and I could happily tuck into this one weekend. The bechamel topping is also green made with spinach and salty feta - nice.

Katie from Feeding Boys and a Firefighter also share a lasagne packed with lots of vegetables. This lasagne is made with soy mince, an ingredient that makes an appearance in my kitchen come Autumn and winter.

And finally from Jacqueline from Tinned Tomatoes we have Two Minute Green Spaghetti. The sauce is made with lots of green vegetables: peas and spinach, herbs such as coriander and parsley and there is even avocado there too for creaminess.
